apple or orange?

Seems like you can really never have beauty and brains together.

Some superficial knowledge I got from reading some articles.
Eating food with sugar helps activate the brains whatever and apparently makes it work harder to think.
Then... on the other hand, eating too much sugar will cause aging? <- Article from a magazine

So... It's either you get dumb for not eating sugar, for not thinking but stay young, youth, pretty OR
you eat sugar to be able to speak pearls of wisdom and look like an old hag with the sagging skin, wrinkles and all. :P

my birthday cake

My bf is a great cook, but not so much of a baker... Lols

I'm supposed to post this on my birthday but I guess I was lazy to upload the photos...
On 6th Jan, 10pm, me and the bf went to buy ingredients for baking a cake. *points all fingers at him* He said he want to bake me a birthday cake. He wanted to bake a chocolate cake and not heeding my advice, decided to choose a difficult recipe which involves ingredients I've never known existed, so we just substitute them with another...

After fooling around with the batter, it's finally in the oven and looking good...

.
.
Then after 30 mins, the cake isn't fully baked yet because fork goes into the middle of "cake" comes out wet, so he decided to bake it for another 10mins, another 10mins, another 10mins...
And horror! This is how it looks like after 1 hr...

All cracked at the top, A big NONO...
.
.
Anyway, we baked the cake for almost 2 hours and it's still kind of undercooked inside but I've decided to rescue it from the oven. It's going to turn to rock if I don't! So we nibbled at the cake!

.
.
And this is how it looks like with the chocolate whip cream all over it...
A bit disgusting I know, but it was already like 1am and we were too tired to do things properly...
.
.
Missing chunks of the cake in our stomach and digested!


The remaining was thrown away... And the VERDICT!
(HAHA, BF! my turn to give u points for the cake u baked!)

Aesthetic Quality: -5/5 (Negative 5 ok!)
Taste: 3/5 (Not too bad if its not undercooked and soooo sweet, like too much sugar sweet, not the lovey dovey kind of sweet)
Effort: 5/5!! (Really touched by the effort put in and trying to buy candles for me to blow off..)

Comments: Baking is not for you, please just stick to cooking... LOLS!

Disclaimer: Er-Erm, As you can see how badly the cake turned out, I want to clarify that I did not really participate in this baking. If I did, the cake would have been 90% better. Er-Erm..

short post

I'm touched that friends around me, ESP those whom I love, rmb my preferences and things I like. (:

Chin Chin bought me my fav choco and an accessory from my fav shop. :D And I merely said it like once.

Friendships are truly a blessing in everyone's life...

p/s: It doesn't mean that I'm not sincere if I don't remember your preferences, I just really have a bad case of memory loss, can only rmb certain things for a certain amount of time. Its true! Sometimes, I don't even rmb my own bf's and family's birth date. Lousy, I know! But not intentionally!

p/s p/s: I wana blog more but I'm very lethargic and uninspired recently, blame menses. (:

new dress

I made this dress.
Wear it to meet debbie today. (:
She is still as cute and pretty as ever...

p/s: I know I posed awkwardly. hahaha

Jan is my favourite month

I started 2010 with a BANG!

Like literally...

because I walked into the balcony door at 3am not knowing it was closed. I wasn't drunk or anything, it was just dark and I guess the maid did a super good job at cleaning the doors, making it seem like there was virtually nothing there. And normally, she would leave the doors open...

Anyway, I ended up with a bruise on my head, bleeding nose and broken toe nail.

Tsk tsk, how clumsy can I get?

I think 2009 went by like a 100m sprint but somehow I feel that I've really grown spiritually. There are things which I regretted doing and words I regretted saying and things which I could have done better... but I guess realization is better late than never

I might have been wrong to try and run away from my family, might have been wrong in opposing the bf for whatever he says, might have been wrong in neglecting my friends...
BUT to sum it all,
I really appreciate my family for being so supportive, the bf for being so tolerating and friends for being so caring... going through 2009 with me...

p/s: my birthday coming in a week's time!!! :D

I'm a big tree now which you can rely on

My 2010 personal resolution:

Take better care of my body - that means breakfast everyday, meals at proper timings!

Agree with myself more, stick by my decision and follow my intuition!

Love myself and not let others influence me to take away my focus!

Do away with procrastination! 

There are others like career resolution, family resolution, love resolution, etc... not listed BUT

I think I'm getting older because as you can see, I've decided I need to take care of myself more. (:

Wo Zhang Da Le!!

I didn't lie nor procrastinate this time ok, I'm seriously working hard to get the cosmetic pouches selling. And they will be ready for sale in a few days time!! 

So... squeal with me and wait patiently. Your co-operation is very much appreciated. (:

p/s: Ironic!! I always draw on the "right side" of the fabric (the side with prints) even though it's actually the wrong side to draw on because you are supposed to always draw on the side without prints.. tsk tsk, bad habit.
